The Last Supper and Predictions of Denial

Luke 22:7-38

Chapter 22

⁷ Then the day of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover had to be sacrificed. ⁸ And he sent Peter and John, saying, "Go, prepare the Passover for us so that we may eat." ⁹ But they said to him, "Where do you want us to prepare?" ¹⁰ And he said to them, "When you enter the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you; follow him into the house where he enters." ¹¹ And you will say to the owner of the house, "The Teacher says to you, 'Where is the guest room where I will eat the Passover with my disciples?'" ¹² And he will show you a large upper room furnished; prepare it there. ¹³ And they went and found it just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover. ¹⁴ And when the hour came, he reclined at the table, and the apostles with him. ¹⁵ And he said to them, "I have earnestly desired to eat this Passover with you before my suffering." ¹⁶ I say to you, I will by no means eat it until it is fulfilled in the kingdom of God. ¹⁷ And he received a cup, gave thanks, and said, "Take this and divide it among yourselves." ¹⁸ For I tell you, I will by no means drink from now on from the fruit of the vine until the kingdom of God comes. ¹⁹ And taking bread and having given thanks, he broke it and gave it to them, saying, "This is my body, which is given for you; do this in remembrance of me." ²⁰ Likewise the cup after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood, which is poured out for you." ²¹ But look, the hand of the one handing me over is with me on the table. ²² For the Son of Man indeed goes as it has been determined, but woe to that man through whom he is handed over. ²³ And they began to question among themselves which one of them it might be who was going to do this. ²⁴ And a rivalry also arose among them, which of them seemed to be greater. ²⁵ But he said to them, "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those in authority over them are called benefactors." ²⁶ But you, not so. Instead, let the greater one among you become as the younger, and the leader as the one serving. ²⁷ For who is greater, the one reclining or the one serving? Is it not the one reclining? But I am among you as the one serving. ²⁸ But you are the ones who have remained with me in my temptations. ²⁹ and I appoint to you a kingdom, just as my Father has appointed a kingdom to me, ³⁰ that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom, and you will sit on thrones judging the twelve tribes of Israel. ³¹ "Simon, Simon, behold, Satan has obtained you all to sift like wheat." ³² But I have prayed for you that your faith may not fail. And you, once you have turned back, strengthen your brothers. ³³ But he said to him, "Lord, with you I am ready to go both to prison and to death." ³⁴ But he said, "I tell you, Peter, a rooster will not crow today until you have denied me three times." ³⁵ He said to them, "When I sent you without a moneybag, bag, or sandals, did you lack anything?" They said, "No." ³⁶ But he said to them, "But now, the one who has a moneybag, let him take it, and likewise a traveler's bag. And the one who does not have one, let him sell his garment and buy a sword." ³⁷ For I say to you that this thing written must be fulfilled in me: "And he was reckoned among the lawless." For indeed the thing concerning me has an end. ³⁸ And they said, "Lord, look, here are two swords." And he said to them, "It is enough."
